For many years, scientists have tried to understand, describe and quantify water and
sediment fluxes, with associated substances like pollutants, at multiple scales. In the past …

The biogeochemical cycling of metals in natural systems is often accompanied by stable
isotope fractionation which can now be measured due to recent analytical advances. In …

Tracing sediments back to their catchment sources using biogeochemical and physical
fingerprints involves multiple assumptions. One of the most fundamental assumptions is that …

Fine-grained sediment is perhaps the most widespread and pervasive contaminant in
aquatic systems reflecting its role in influencing the quality of the water (eg, turbidity, vector …

Vegetated coastal ecosystems, including tidal marshes, mangroves and seagrass meadows,
are being increasingly assessed in terms of their potential for carbon dioxide sequestration …

Sediment samples, including 40 surface samples and 12 sediment cores, were collected
from 52 stations of the Yangtze River Estuary (YRE) in 2015 and 2016. The 95% linear …

Livestock grazing and climate change accelerate soil erosion in the grassland of Qinghai-
Tibet Plateau (QTP), China. However, the linkage of the two factors to accelerated erosion in …

Abstract Information on the main sources supplying deleterious sediment loads to river
systems is needed to improve our understanding of soil erosion processes to better target …

Sediment organic carbon (SOC) is a precious archive that synthesizes anthropogenic
processes that remove geochemical fluxes from watersheds. However, the scarcity of …

Luminescence holds unique potential as a sediment tracer and provenance method. The
tracer application of luminescence has key advantages including ease of measurement …
